A red light on a street is where you must stop in the intersection. A red light on a street is where you must stop in the intersection.
Controlled intersections have traffic lights, yield signs or stop signs to control traffic. At a controlled intersection where you face a green light, drive carefully through the intersection at a steady speed. If the light has been green for a while, be prepared to stop when it turns yellow. However, if you are already so close that you cannot stop safely, drive through the intersection with caution. Where you face a red light, come to a complete stop and wait until the light turns green. When you approach an intersection on a main road, and the intersection is blocked with traffic, stop before entering the intersection and wait until the traffic ahead moves on. This does not apply if you are turning left or right. At a controlled intersection where you face a yield sign, slow down or stop if necessary and wait until the way is clear before driving through the intersection. At a controlled intersection where you face a stop sign, come to a complete stop. Drive through the intersection only when the way is clear (Diagram 2-15).

Stop signs
four-way stop
A driver must not stop in an intersection or on a road within 20 m of the nearest point of an intersecting road at an intersection with traffic lights. A driver must not stop in an intersection or on a road within 10 m from the nearest point of an intersecting road at an intersection without traffic lights.
The rules for a stop sign are that you must come to a full stop before entering the intersection, give right-of-way to any other traffic, and then proceed only when the way is clear. If there is a stop line, you must stop before that line. If you cannot see oncoming traffic from that stop line, then you must also stop prior to entering the intersection.

Red Stop Light Flashing Red Stop Light Red Stop Sign
You can pull halfway into an intersection after making a full stop to make a left turn. However, your light must be green and you must be waiting to turn.
If you have ever approached a large intersection in a sizable city, but the traffic lights are all blinking red, this would be a System is out of control situation. All vehicles must stop at the intersection barrier lines (crosswalk), then proceed when it is safe. When the System is in control, the intersection's right-of-way is being controlled by the lights, and the vehicles are flowing through the intersection in one direction while the vehicles in the crossing direction are waiting their turn... the system controls the flow.
A flashing red light at an intersection is equivalent to a stop sign. It indicates that drivers must come to a complete stop before proceeding, and they should yield the right of way to any other vehicles or pedestrians before proceeding through the intersection.
